The Masters of Business Administration at UVU includes two distinct options, both
of which offer emphases in management or accounting.

The
Part-time Professional MBA Program leverages the management experiences of our professional students while focusing
on application and practice through the use of group discussions, case studies, simulations,
projects, and interaction with regional organizations and business leaders. Classes
are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings on the Orem campus which begins fall semester
(August). Additionally, classes are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Thanksgiving
Point location which begins spring semester (January).

The
Full-time Accelerated MBA Program is designed to meet the needs of students who have completed their undergraduate
degree and would like to continue their education through an enhanced one-year, three-semester
program. The format requires a full-time effort as classes, workshops, and events
are scheduled throughout the week. Due to the rigorous demands of this program, employment
during enrollment is limited to 15-20 hours per week. Courses concentrate on real-world
and engaged activities designed to assist students as they prepare to enter the business
world.

The MBA program embraces the university’s designation as an engaged learning campus.
Students immerse themselves in all aspects of business management, including accounting,
leadership, marketing, economics, ethics, and social responsibility. Throughout the
program, students will participate in several integration modules designed to assimilate
the various functions of business through simulations, comprehensive case studies
and real-world learning projects.
